Hi!

Great for deleted post... but (yes i ask a lot )
That's not working for 1st deleted post.

I don't know how to explain it but when you delete a whole thread, the color is not changing.

So is it possible for "Delete thread - soft delete"?

Anyway... you do a great work!

Which page are you viewing the deleted thread on? This mod only works on the "showthread" page and not the "forumdisplay" page. I am sure I could get this working to display on the forumdisplay page too. Is this what you mean?

[Shogo]

Ok so when you are in a thread and you want to delete the whole thread...

You go on :
Administrative -> Delete thread -> 'Soft Delete'

When a moderator go back in the thread (example : via a report post) he doesn't see that the thread is already deleted or not.
I tought your mod made the 1st post colored so my moderators can know if an other soft deleted the thread.

So that's not in forumdisplay coz in forum display there is already a grey color and a "no entry sign"

The intersting for my moderators is a color or a sign in the first post of a soft deleted thread.



(sorry for my bad english )

[Shogo]

I found a bug : the search resuslts are in yellow now!

[Shogo]

So

Here is a bug in the 1.2.0 : the search results are colored

Printscreen :




And the deleted thread (soft delete) are still not colored INSIDE the thread

I have fixed the bug with the search results being coloured. Thanks for pointing it out. When the thread is deleted, it does not add anything to the postbit_legacy to check if the thread is deleted or not therefore, until I have time to write a check to see if the thread is deleted, the posts inside a deleted thread will not be coloured.

Default vB doesn't add colour to a deleted threads posts either.

I installed this on my test site and although deleted posts show in the proper color, moderated posts do not. I'm running 4.2.2.

Does this work on postbit and postbit_legacy, or does the type make any difference? I'm using postbit.

This was done using postbit_legacy. I can update it to include postbit too if you wish.
